KEARNEY- Senator Deb Fischer says she's secured 45 million dollars to fund critical Nebraska transportation in an upcoming Transportation bill. If passed this bill will provide funding for highway construction, more modern airports in Nebraska and also water and energy needs. These projects will each receive millions of dollars to improve what they have to offer.

The assistant city manager of the City of Kearney, Brenda Jensen, noted the funding would help with the Kearney Regional Airport and expressed her thanks to Sen. Fischer. "We really appreciate Senator Fischer's support for the state of Nebraska and the city of Kearney. Specifically, she's always willing to support transportation.

In this regard, it's going to be for our airport to ensure that we have safe access, logistics and safety, really just improvements at the airport. So it is crucial and we really appreciate her support to submit that on the Senate and House," said Jensen. It is also estimated that the Nebraska Department of Transportation would be getting over 12 million dollars.
